Our Scout Group Relies on Incredible Volunteers
Our amazing volunteers are the backbone of our Scout group. From those who lead fun and engaging activities, to the individuals who work behind the scenes to keep everything organized, we couldn’t do what we do without their dedication and support.
We’re always on the lookout for more volunteers to join our team. While we appreciate any time and talents you can offer, there are a few specific roles that are particularly crucial for ensuring our group runs smoothly.
Please review the open volunteer positions below, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you feel you’d be a good fit for any of these important roles or have any questions about the roles. We’d be thrilled to have you on board!

Every Scout Group requires trustees, which form the Group Trustee Board.
The Trustee Board is a team of volunteers who work together, as charity trustees, to ensure our Scouting activities are run safely and legally. The team consists of a Chair, Treasurer and trustees.
We need people who can see things from different viewpoints, who are passionate about supporting their community and want to give young people skills for life. We also encourage every volunteer to bring their own skills, knowledge and experience to the role.
Most Trustee Boards meet four-six times a year, but effective members will volunteer for tasks in between the meetings, thus ensuring the smooth running of the Scout Group and maximising its potential for a hugely positive impact on its young members.

Just as important as leading the young people is supporting the adults who do so.
Such support releases the Trustees and Leaders to do what they do best.
If you can help with administrative tasks such as record keeping, including meeting minutes, census details, ownership of property and equipment, we’d love to hear from you.
We’ll provide training and support, so you can be sure that your role will help to maximise the potential for the Scout Group to have a hugely positive impact on its young members.

Are you a good communicator? You’re just who we need!
Do you enjoy being involved in the local community and meeting new people? Do you have good organisational skills?
1st Danbury Scout Group has members from Danbury and the surrounding villages. We would love to use your skills to identify communication channels, to help with recruitment and making sure Scouting is known in these villages, build connections with the local community and coordinate communications and channels.
With experience of social media channels, good writing and communication skills, you don’t need to do all of these things alone, but act as the main point of contact, as you’ll be part of our Support Team. We’ll provide you with full support and training.

Help deliver skills for life.
Would you like the chance to go camping, hiking, kayaking and lead community projects, while helping prepare young people with skills for life? As a section leader you will do all of this and more, using your skills and learning new ones.
As part of 1st Danbury Scout Group, you will plan and deliver a safe and exciting programme for young people, making sure every young person gets the chance to spend at least one night away each year.
You’ll use your energy and creativity to help young people have fun, develop their potential and earn a wide range of badges and awards, including the prestigious Chief Scout Awards.
Of course you won’t have to do this alone – a team of supporters and the young people themselves will help you plan and deliver the programme. But it’s your enthusiasm and sense of fun and adventure that will inspire them.
